Consider this animal cell. The organelles in an animal cell are labeled. Part D are stacked tubular structures. Which organelles
are labeled D, and what is one feature that distinguishes them from the other labeled organelles? chloroplasts; the only organelles that produce sugars from sunlight ribosomes; only found in animal and bacterial cells centrioles; found in animal cells but not plant cells mitochondria; the only energy-generating structures found in cells

Answer:
The image of the animal cell was not included in the question, the image has been added as an attachment.
The answer is centrioles; found in animal cells but not plant cells
Explanation:
According to the question, the image in the attachment section is an animal cell with labelled organnelles. An animal cell does not possess a Chloroplast, which is unique to only plant cells. Hence, organnelles D cannot be Chloroplast.
Ribosomes are organnelles made up of a complex of RNA and proteins. They are the site of protein synthesis, which occurs in all living cells. Hence, all cells including plant and animal cells contain Ribosome organnelles. Therefore, it is a wrong choice.
Centrioles are cylindrical tube-like structures made up of microtubules arranged in a specific pattern. Centrioles are present only in animal cells and play a major part in cell division, where they organize microtubules that separate chromosomes. As seen in the image, the two centrioles are perpendicular to one another, forming a CENTROSOME. A plant cell does not possess centrioles instead they contain microtubules organizing centres (MTOC).
Mitochondrion are present in both animal and plant cells as energy-generating organnelles but they are not stacked tubular structures as described in the question.
